Stump Grinding in Erith

Stump grinding is the process where the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is cleared away. Commonly during tree felling a few inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the ground, making the nearby space impractical to use and also possibly appealing to insects or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the earth, taking them out could open up the area, presenting you with additional space to increase your lawn area or add new spaces to fit patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding firms can take out stumps of any proportion. The operation generally requires cutting the stump as close to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and then using specialised stump grinding machinery to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches under the dirt surface to allow planting, although occasionally landscaping projects may require the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are made by the stump grinding can be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company could remove it and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. In addition, numerous specialist stump grinding companies provide specialist narrow equipment that can be employed if there is restricted access to your garden for example, via a side passageway.
